Michael Bay (pictured), director and producer of the blockbuster Transformers series, beat mogul Steven Spielberg to top Vanity Fair's inaugural list of Hollywood's Top 40 Money Makers, which the magazine releases on Tuesday. Bay pulled in $125 million last year, according to the magazine, ahead of Spielberg ($85 million), action director Roland Emmerich ($70 million), Avatar auteur James Cameron ($50 million), and Todd Phillips, producer of The Hangover ($44 million). The magazine limits its list to film-industry creatives: producers, directors, and stars.

Nine women made it into the top 40. The list's highest-ranking actress, Emma Watson (no. 14), beats out Cameron Diaz (no. 19), Sarah Jessica Parker (no. 24), Katherine Heigl (no. 25), and Reese Witherspoon (no. 31). For now, Hogwarts trumps vampires: Along with Watson, Harry Potter hero Daniel Radcliffe (no. 6) and supporting actor Rupert Grint (no. 15) rank far above Twilight co-stars Robert Pattinson (no. 35) and Kristen Stewart (no. 37).

The magazine interviewed scores of Hollywood insiders to compile the list, says contributing editor Peter Newcomb, who compiled the list. Although agents, lawyers, studio executives, and even the stars themselves provided the deal numbers, calculating the earning power isn't always an exact science, Newcomb says.

Who will we see on the list in 2011? Count on Twilight's Taylor Lautner to be here, and for a stronger showing from the King of the World. Avatar director Cameron helped generated sales of more than $800 million for 2009, and his no. 1 movie will most likely also be on the 2010 list a year from now. Also hitting multiplexes this year: the third Fockers installment, for which Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller will each earn about $20 million. Owen Wilson will pull in $15 million for his efforts.

The March Vanity Fair will be on newsstands in New York and Los Angeles on Wednesday and will be available nationally on next Tuesday. Here's the full list:

1. Michael Bay, producer-director ($125 million)
2. Steven Spielberg, producer-director ($85 million)

 Determined by Jury

Rumors have been swirling that along with Rob Estes, Jennie Garth is also going to be dropped from the teen drama 90210. EOnline has an article where Jennie mentions her husband, Peter Facinelli.

As for what’s next for Jennie, whose 90210 departure was confirmed last week, Jennie herself tells me that she has “lots of irons in the fire,” including a children’s book, work with the American Heart Association and a new small-screen project with a certain Twilight star with whom she just so happens to be married.

“My husband [Peter Facinelli] is writing a script we’re developing for television,” Jennie tells me.

Who needs that silly ol’ ZIP code after all?

Kellan Lutz pitched in toward the ongoing Haitian relief efforts Thursday, as the Twilight hunk smiled for photographers while bringing his old clothes to a Westwood, California donation center, doing his part for the cause that has captivated Hollywood and the world.

Lutz, who plays Emmett Cullen in Stephenie Meyer's mega-hit vampire series, wore an all-black outfit with grey beanie and puffy jacket on the rainy Southern California day.
We'll be seeing a lot more of the well-built 24-year-old this year, as he has three films slated for release: Eclipse, A Nightmare On Elm Street and Meskada.

"The Runways" makes its big Sundance debut this Sunday in Park City, and we have something that will keep your rocker hearts beating until then: an exclusive first look at the movie's teaser poster.

We know, we know: now that you've gotten to see plenty more stills and a clip from the Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning-headlined flick, a "teaser" isn't exactly the sort of juice you're looking for. But once you click the handy "read more" link below, we have a feeling, you're going to this this art work is quite literally the bomb.

A Nashville Twilight Convention won't include Robert Pattinson or Kristen Stewart next week.
The official
Nashville Twilight Convention will take place at Opryland from January 29th to January 31st.
According to one source, Peter Facinelli and Kellan Lutz should be in attendance. Opryland is normally reserved for Country Music acts.

This week in Nashville will be a bit different with the Twilight Convention. Friday night will offer a musical concert.
For a full list of what's on the agenda for the Nashville Twilight Convention you can click here on the official Twilight convention website.

Twilight and New Moon fans will be wondering how to buy tickets for the Twilight Convention in Nashville or other locations. General admission tickets for the Nashville Twilight convention can be purchased on the Twilight Convention official website for $20. You can also buy tickets for the Twilight Conventions at other locations on the official Twilight Convention Website here .

Where does the Twilight Convention go from there? San Francisco is on the schedule for the February Twilight Convention followed by stops in Atlanta and Los Angeles in March. Will Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart be on hand for those Twilight Conventions? It doesn't look like Robert Pattinson or Kristen Stewart are on the agenda yet for those locations.

Will Robert Pattinson or Kristen Stewart pay a surprise visit? The actor and actress have busy schedules so chances are slim they would appear at the Nashville Twilight convention. One would think an appearance at the Los Angeles Twilight convention would be more likely for a surprise visit from Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

Pledge a few bucks and maybe talk to a vampire.

This ain't no Bella, people!

As you may already have heard, Kristen Stewart stars in one of this year's Sundance Film Festival favorites Welcome to the Rileys, a drama about a married man (James Gandolfini) who finds himself looking after a 16-year-old prostitute (Stewart) he met in a strip joint...
In this exclusive sneak peek, a seemingly naked Stewart lays in bed barely covered by a sheet as Gandolfini barks at her about cussing before demanding she get up and go with him to a laundromat.
So, who do you think looks better with Stewart: Rob Pattinson or Gandolfini?
Just kidding! Enjoy the clip.
And make sure to keep coming back right here for Sundance dish galore. We'll be at the festival to get ya the goods on Stewart (who also has The Runaways showing at the film fest), James Franco, Marisa Tomei and, of course, a Kardashian or two.

MTV has a fantastic compliation (thanks guys you just saved us making one) of the upcoming roles to watch of the Twilight actors. On the list are The Runaways, Skateland, and Welcome to the Rileys that are all being featured starting next week at Sundance. Doing well at that festival is key for Ashley Greene’s Skateland and Welcome to the Rileys getting wide releases. Not mentioned on the list is Michael Welch’s Unrequited and Nikki Reed’s Last Day of Summer. Unrequited is still in the editing stages while Last Day of Summer is Also at Sundance and looking for that buzz that is so critical.

A Twilight Convention gets underway Jan. 15 in Seattle; fans of the movies based on Stephenie Meyer's books will meet stars from the films, including Peter Facinelli, Chaske Spencer, Daniel Cudmore and Charlie Bewley. The most fervid fans of "Twilight" — and you know who you are — booked tickets months ago for the official Twilight Convention that gets underway today at the Westin Seattle. But there are still some tickets for sale at the door.

Organizers promise three days of panel discussions, parties, musical performances and autograph sessions with some of the actors who've appeared in the first two films based on Stephenie Meyer's best-selling novels.

Peter Facinelli, who plays Dr. Carlisle Cullen, appears today; Chaske Spencer, one of the wolf pack, Saturday and Sunday. Also Saturday: Daniel Cudmore and Charlie Bewley, two "vampires" who visited Seattle on a promotional tour last year. Presumably top-billed stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner are busy sharpening their fangs (or learning their lines) for the next movie, due out this summer.

  They shot to stardom in two very different films but Carey Mulligan Kristen Stewart have been recognised as two of the world’s hottest young actresses with nominations for the Orange Rising Star Bafta Award.

Mulligan, 24, who won critical acclaim and a Golden Globe nomination for bringing to life a Sixties schoolgirl in An Education, and Stewart, 19, famous for her role as the girlfriend of a vampire in the cult film series Twilight, are up against three young actors to take home the gong at next month’s ceremony.

About A Boy and Skins actor Nicholas Hoult, 20, received a nod after his turn in designer Tom Ford’s directing debut A Single Man won praise at the Venice Film Festival. The movie, due to be released next month, will be quickly followed by another Hoult showing in the blockbuster Clash of the Titans.

While he has less experience and fame than Hoult, French actor Tahar Rahim, who at 29 is this year’s oldest nominee, may prove stiff competition after his turn in the forthcoming film A Prophet was met with praise at the Cannes Film Festival.

American Jesse Eisenberg, 26, who has a string of film titles to his name, could also take the award. The actor starred opposite fellow nominee Stewart in 2009’s Adventureland and has several movies, including Holly Rollers and The Social Network, in production.

Previous winners of the award, which was launched five years ago, include James McAvoy, Eva Green and Noel Clarke, who sat on this year’s jury to decide the nominees.

Clarke, who is currently on the big screen in the Ian Drury biopic Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll said the Rising Star award had give his career a push.

“Winning the Orange Rising Star Award in 2009 was the highlight of my year," he said.

“Since winning I have gone on to direct a brand new feature which is due to be released in the summer and I hope this year’s winner finds the accolade as beneficial to their career as I have.”

The winner is decided by a public vote and will be announced at the Bafta ceremony on February 21.

Every year at the BAFTA Film Awards the top bods of the British film industry get to vote for their top performances and movie-making achievements. But there’s also one category where we all get to have a say: the Orange Rising Star Award.

It’s the one prize that’s voted for by the public, and the previous four winners are James McAvoy, Eva Green, Shia LaBeouf and Noel Clarke.

Now the nominees for this year’s race have just been announced, and the early frontrunner is Kristen Stewart, who must surely benefit from the Twilight factor. Given it is we Brits who are voting, there should be a strong showing for Nicholas Hoult, especially if the Skins fan sites get behind him. Carey Mulligan has just starred in £2million UK box-office hit An Education, while Jesse Eisenberg enjoyed a £3.5million hit with Zombieland and also co-starred with Kristen in Adventureland. The wild card in the pack is French actor Tahar Rahim, whose movie A Prophet doesn’t open until 22 January.

Forget Edward, Bella, and Jacob. The real saga in the Twilight series films surrounds Breaking Dawn - that ever-so-exhaustingly-ambivalent project "in the works."
Between awaiting the official green light, speculating about whether it'll be one or two films, losing sleep over the possible director(s), and battling away casting rumors left and right, the drama hasn't even been exciting . . . it's just been taxing.
So, in order to avoid a big controversy over this latest bit of information, please understand at the outset that, unless you hear certain information from the studio themselves, nothing is official.
Nevertheless, insider secrets and back-and-forths can and have been valid sources of information regarding the film world as a general rule in the past, so it's entirely possible that the information is true as well. Accepting both possibilities might be the smart way to approach it, but know that it is not official, press release information.
This comes from a reliable film journalist, Larry Richman of Pro Networks:

Los Angeles Times' writer Gina McIntyre . . . spoke directly with the film's producer Wyck Godfrey, who is stating publicly that no decision has yet been made as to whether or not the Breaking Dawn novel will be split into two scripts (and two movies) or one. But we've heard that before. What is news, though, is that he is all but confirming that New Moon director Chris Weitz will NOT be back to helm Breaking Dawn, one film or two. He's also confirming that the three stars are on board and the plan is to begin shooting this fall in Vancouver. . . . . . As for breaking up Breaking Dawn into two films, "It's a work in process," said Godfrey. "The issue [of whether there will be one or two movies] is not going to be resolved until we get the full treatment and see whether it's organic. If it's not organic, I don't think it will be done, and if it is, it will be . . .whatever the outcome, Breaking Dawn will be made "with an eye toward beginning to shoot in Vancouver this fall.

The L.A. Time's McIntyre did indeed go to press with a corroborating story, and she also included the following information:

Wyck Godfrey, the producer of all the films in the "Twilight" saga, admits that the creative team still doesn't know how they'll handle the character in the "Breaking Dawn" movie, but said that the plan is absolutely for the production to go forward -- as either one or two installments -- with an eye toward beginning to shoot in Vancouver this fall. All three stars are signed for "Breaking Dawn," he said, meaning that Stewart and Pattinson will be dealing with the joys and woes of interspecies parenting and newly minted heartthrob Taylor Lautner will return as often-shirtless shape-shifter Jacob Black.

At the moment, screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg, who's penned all the "Twilight" movies, is working on the "Breaking Dawn" script(s). "It's a work in process," Godfrey said in an interview Friday. "The issue [of whether there will be one or two movies] is not going to be resolved until we get the full treatment and see whether it's organic. If it's not organic, I don't think it will be done, and if it is, it will be. It really has to do with how much level of detail from the books there is, with all of these new vampires that appear in 'Breaking Dawn,' the whole section about Jacob... It's a very long single movie if it does become a single movie."

Taylor Lautner is set to star in the action movie Northern Lights, which, contrary to reports stating otherwise, will not feature Tom Cruise. A rep for David Ellison’s Skydance Productions tells EW the official logline is as follows: “Set against the backdrop of extreme flying, Northern Lights follows four young pilots as they compete against the world’s best. A story of teamwork, sacrifice, loss, and victory, these young aviators push themselves to physical and emotional limits in the unforgiving world of performance aerobatics.” The other pilots have not been cast.

The film, directed by John Moore (Max Payne) and produced by Ellison’s Skydance and Dean Devlin for Paramount, will start production in Louisiana in April, date TBD. Skydance — which has a deal with Paramount — says that Cruise is not attached to the project in any way. There is no “billionaire father” character as one synopsis suggested. As for the claim that Lautner will receive a $7.5 million paycheck for the film, the Skydance rep had no comment.

David Ellison, a former pilot who was one of the stars of Flyboys, is the son of Oracle’s Larry Ellison.

I found this on People.com. It's a snippet from an interview between Ellen Degeneres and Anna Kendrick. I just thought it was funny.

EXCLUSIVE! Inside R-Patz and Kristen Stewart’s $10 New Year’s Eve Date!

Ciroc with Diddy? Veuve Cliquot with Lady Gaga? Not for the world’s most elusive couple, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart! We have learned exclusively that the laid-back Twilight lovers brought in the new year at a dive bar called Winter Gardens in the tiny town of Ventnor on the Isle of Wight.

The Internet -- and especially Twitter -- was abuzz on Tuesday (Jan. 5) with word of a leaked script from the upcoming third "Twilight" movie "Eclipse."

While The Dish Rag did easily locate a site where a pdf version of the complete script can supposedly be downloaded, we declined. Who knows what sort of vampiric computer virus might come along for the ride.

However, a screenshot of the first page of the blue script (meaning it's an early one and not likely what was shot from) has also been making the rounds. If this is the real deal, Jackson Rathbone (who plays Jasper) can expect to get a talking to from Summit very, very soon.

NOTE: They emblazon people's names across these things for a reason. And surprisingly it's not only because stars like to see their names in print.

It appears the movie opens with Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard) turning Riley (Xavier Samuel) into the vampire that she plans to send after Bella (Kristen Stewart).

This isn't the first time "Twilight" has had a script escape. Last May, a hairdresser found a "New Moon" script in a St. Louis trash bin. She returned it to the studio in exchange for a pair of premiere tickets.

It was speculated that that script found it's way to to that particular garbage can courtesy of Anna Kendrick who was filming "Up in the Air" in St. Louis and plays Jessica in the "Twilight" saga.
